The Astros and Rangers meet for the 2nd game of the 4-game series in Texas on Saturday. Currently, the Rangers lead 6-0 in game one of the series. The Astros bats have come out hot to start the season and are batting just under .300 as a team which is 2nd in the league. Yainer Diaz leads the way with a.462 average and has hit 2 bombs. JP France will be on the hill for the Astros and is coming off 5 strikeout 5.2 inning outing against the Yankees. He gave up 6 hits and 3 runs and did not factor into the decision. He will be up against a Rangers lineup that had success against Hunter Brown on Friday. They knocked him around for 5 runs on 8 hits and drew 4 walks. Corey Seager has led the Rangers in batting with his .346 average. They hope that Jon Gray, who they will throw, has better success compared to his season debut. The Cubs tagged Gray for 5 runs on 7 hits. He will need to be sharper in this one against one of the hottest lineups in baseball.
